Sorry, not approved for Ghetto use. *******? YES!

According to the rules Ghetto mods must not look ghetto. Seems a bit contradictory, but that's the rules. :deal: It also cannot just be something adopted from another bike, it needs be original, functional and/or serve a new purpose never seen before and generally speaking - must be either hand built or assembled from dissimilar pieces. In other words, inventive or innovative.
For a complete list of all the rules send $5.00, nah, make that $10.00 to my PayPal account.
On the other hand, if you were to use one of these:

where it actually opened and then clamped down on your Big Gulp without smashing the cup I might reconsider. :wave

Does this qualify for Ghetto mod then?
The boot on my lower fork bridge ball joint was torn. Plenty of grease, and no slop. BMW does not make a replacement boot, you have to buy the new ball joint at $117! I decided to remove the bridge and boot, and fit a small section of mountain bike tire inner tube over the greasy joint. PERFECT FIT. I reused the lower metal wire clip, and for the top I used .032 stainless steel lockwire. Pretty happy about that one.....

The butler holds a 32oz insulated cup with a no leak straw ... I also have a small "bow" that I think is for a 20oz cup ... It does hold a big gulp perfectlytips727 said:

Only if you used safety wire twister pliers on the .032 wire, but using stainless instead of bailing wire was a very nice touch. Hey, we have high standards here in the Ghetto.Cochinosucio said:

Wait, does the $6 dollars include the bar mounted to the mirror hole? Because that would be much nicer looking and a whole lot cheaper than Touratech's GPS mount: http://www.touratech-usa.com/Store/2272/PN-040-0652/Touratech-GPS-Mount-Adapter-K1200LT-K1200GT-R1100RT-and-R1150RT

What's inside the little box at the back of the tray is the power source for my Gps, and a power outlet for charging your phone, or whatever. It just made sense to me to put the fire starter in the outlet (instead of just a cap).ebear695 said:
I don't listen to music when I ride, so I took out the cassette player (which is also the radio and all the audio system brains) and used the un-switched radio power for the two sockets. All the voltage runs through the circuit breaker, and the switch is for the Gps power.....I used a "stingray" from a salvage yard.
